Marriage is difficult if the foundation for it is not laid the proper/correct way. Marriage is not easy, it's work! But with the right foundation it can have an easier flow to it. People ask me, how I have been married for so long, we pick to be married even when we hit hard times, no matter what the hard times may look like & not being mad at the same time. But there is much more to it.
Here are some steps that will help the foundation for a healthy marriage:
-Be emotionally mature, mentally mature, spiritually mature & physically mature
-know how to give & receive
-know what your healthy boundaries are & how to respect others boundaries
-know how to respect & give honor
-have self confidence
-communicate
-leave your parents household (not to have a foot or both feet still there)
-grow into your own person, grow into an adult
-learn how to be a spouse
Before marriage knowing how to build into a relationship will help build a strong foundation. Think about what kind of a person you want to marry. What kind of a person do you want to be? Do you share the same beliefs, morals & values? What are you bringing to the marriage, good/bad stuff? Have you meet the family? Do you value what the family think & say? Do you trust the person you want to marry? Did you build a relationship with the family?
If you have some of the foundation built but not all of it, you can still fix it. Both spouses will need to do the work for the foundation to be strong.
